I work in a TAC team doing Network Engineering support for firewall and routing products. Since we’re 24/7/365, we all take 12 hour shifts and have people on the other half of the world that their “day” is our night.
We used to have that and then they replaced our Kiwi team (it’s important to call them Australian all the time, they really enjoy it when you do that) with an Indian team because they were cheaper, but they’re also practically in the same time zone as us, I think there’s only 1 ⅖ hours difference (yep India is +1.5 UTC for some strang reason) so it doesn’t work.
timezones and astronomy don’t have to agree. If the schedule is reasonable based on the sunlight but at a strange clock time, many people are happy to work that anyway.
What job? I want it. That’s like 48 hours in a very neat package…leaving 3-4 fucking days to do fuck all.

You earned it!
